Adding Chewing Tobacco to Your Product Range? What Retailers Need to Know: Track and Trace System

Chewing tobacco is the big trend product for every kiosk, every gas station and the rest of the retail trade.

The market has been growing rapidly for years, and smoke-free nicotine products are in demand throughout Europe – one of the fastest-growing segments in the entire tobacco market. In countries such as Sweden, the USA or Norway, smoke-free nicotine products have been firmly established for years and show that these are not niche products, but everyday products with a huge and diverse target group. The German market is growing year after year and is still far from reaching its full potential. Demand is clearly noticeable in all areas, and experts are certain: the growth is only just beginning.

How do I become a chewing tobacco retailer – and what do I need to consider legally?

It is basically very simple: all that is required is to create a track-and-trace ID with the Bundesdruckerei. This is an EU-wide system for tracing tobacco products. With little time and effort, a so-called EOID (Economic Operator ID) and an FID (Facility ID) are issued. This works entirely online – neither a visit to an authority nor paperwork is necessary.

These identifiers make it possible to trace exactly who imports the goods, to whom they are subsequently sold and where they are stored. This ensures maximum transparency and protection against gray-market goods – because not every dealer supplies legally compliant goods. Gray imports without a tax stamp are a real risk for retailers. Anyone who buys from us automatically receives compliant and traceable goods.
